Aberdeen FC Miscellany: Aberdeen Trivia, History, Facts and Stats

Description

Aberdeen FC Miscellany collects together all the vital information you never knew you needed to know about the Dons. In these pages you will find irresistible anecdotes and the most mindblowing stats and facts. You may be rightly proud of the only Scottish club that have won two European titles and have never been relegated in their 111-year history; but did you know they also boast two players who scored six goals in a match? And did you know Pittodrie's dugouts were the first in Britain? Have you heard the one about the Dons' keeper who wore waterproofs and used an umbrella? Or how about the time Aberdeen (playing as the 'Washington Whips') were crowned champions of America? All these stories and hundreds more appear in a brilliantly researched collection of trivia - essential for any fan who holds the riches of the Reds' history close to their heart.
